7 AI workflows under the "Stock Availability and Alerts" topic. Each includes a copyable prompt and FAQs. Paste them into your preferred AI assistant or Spark agent and run it.
A merchant wants to keep taking orders on items waiting for restock, but only where the supplier can deliver by the promised date. In this case, the immediate task is to define when eligible products may remain available on backorder. The workflow should produce an item-by-item decision plus the wording that must appear at checkout for anything kept on sale.
A merchant currently learns that stock is low only once an item has already sold out, so the warning arrives too late to reorder. In this case, the immediate task is to define useful low-stock alerts. The workflow should produce one threshold per SKU set against that item's own lead time, with a named recipient and an escalation path.
A merchant has a threshold policy in place, but the stock list comes out alphabetically, so urgent lines sit next to harmless ones. In this case, the immediate task is to list products below relevant stock thresholds. The workflow should produce a list ordered by channel exposure and replenishment risk, giving the quantity and restock status for each item.
A merchant sees products flip to unavailable overnight and cannot tell whether the stock really ran out or a sync failed. In this case, the immediate task is to detect products that become unavailable. The workflow should produce an alert per item recording when it stopped being sellable and whether the cause is a genuine sellout or a data error.
A merchant needs one periodic view of every item sitting at zero, grouped in a way that shows where the gap is concentrated. In this case, the immediate task is to report products with no sellable stock. The workflow should produce a report grouping zero-stock items by category and channel, with the affected variants and the last movement date.
A merchant knows which items sell fastest but not how long the remaining stock will last against that demand. In this case, the immediate task is to check stock coverage for best-selling products. The workflow should produce a coverage reading per best seller, ranked by which one runs out first given the lead times on record.
A merchant reorders on a fixed rhythm and cannot tell which SKUs will run dry before the next replenishment arrives. In this case, the immediate task is to identify products at risk of stocking out. The workflow should combine the merchant's own stock levels, sales pace and recorded arrival dates into a per-item risk list with estimated timing.
